"Alice worked with me in the IT Department at Aquarion Water Company for
2 years. She began here as a Senior Project Manager and continued to serve
with increasing skill in that capacity. During Alice's service with us, I
admired her for her many valuable qualities. While very goal oriented, Alice
still managed to be easygoing and personable. She was dedicated to her
work and the job at hand. She was always well organized. Without exception,
she always put the group first, feeling that the key to quality is teamwork.
Meetings were run with both quality and efficiency and were always
productive. In closing, let me say I have no hesitation in recommending
Alice Arcuri for any position in Project Management. I feel confident she
would be an asset to any organization."

“I met Alice when she was project manager on People's Bank's Y2K effort.
Alice is a knowledgeable and skilled professional in the IT arena. We have
all had the experience of working with someone from IT who cannot -- or
will not -- make technology issues understandable to laymen. Alice is the
opposite of that person. She has the unique ability to easily and effectively
communicate with people from all walks of life. Alice makes clients feel
valued in whatever project they are involved with. She knows how to ask
the right questions and put non-tech folk at ease with required tasks. In
addition to our professional dealings, Alice also allowed herself to be
"drafted" into the bank's theatre group, where she served on the board of
directors as treasurer. In this area, Alice took the time to learn about a
new field. Her business acumen was truly a benefit to the "artsy" qualities
many others brought to the table. Any company or individual employing
Alice Arcuri will find that she is eloquent, skilled and knowledgeable. Alice
is an asset to any team fortunate enough to have her on board.”

“As a direct report to Alice, her management style was consistent, fair and
honest. She led her team successfully in implementing many successful
projects to production. The qualities I describe in Alice are that she allowed
her team to work independently, providing guidance, suggestions and
support, as well as flexibility and encouragement as needed. Alice is a gem
and would be an asset to any company because of her knowledge in the IT
field, customer focus, quality of work including her vast experience in project
management.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Alice at Survey Sampling International
and watching her project management and professionalism firsthand. Among
the many projects she managed, perhaps none were as broad or as strategic
as the company's implementation of Salesforce.com. Alice kept a team of
dozens of executive and management leaders from across the globe focused
and responsive to the milestones that would move this complex deployment
forward. And she did this with a sense of humor and a unique talent for
knowing when to push the gas pedal and when to ease up. She left everyone
feeling that she had the company's best interests in mind and that she was
willing to listen and help each department in order for the project to be a win
for everyone. She is great at what she does.”

“I worked under Alice at Survey Sampling Int. I was reporting to her as a
BSA for some of her projects. Alice's hard work, perseverance in her effort
and adaptability to any situation made her a very easy and commendable
manager to work with. She was very responsible in her role, and that made
it smooth for colleagues like myself to adjust to the new work environment
at SSI. Also, she made us very comfortable in our roles so we could always
go that extra mile to innovate ways to finish our jobs.”

"Alice played a key role in developing the Technical Project Management

a number of high priority technology projects were being launched and
needed this key process to work and work well so that work could be
completed in a timely, predictable manner -- "on-time, on-spec and on-
budget." Alice is a results oriented person who has domain expertise in this
critical area -- and put it to good use to build this capability at SSI.”
